ealing upon all political parties in Iowa
to elect such men to the legislature this

unless some relief is afforded Iowa job
gers and manufacturers will be compelled

The Langtry KISS.

chicago MAIL.
AS Lady Clanclarty, her husband, es-
capes from his pursuers through an
open window into her room. She stands
with her back to the audience, and clear
down the stage near the audience. The
husband looks at her u moment and
then rushes wildly into her arms Then
both swing around and expose their
proiles ; then they hold each other at
arms length ; then her bosom heaves
and he pants ; then her head falls on his
breast, reclining backward. There is q
crimson blush suffusing her charming
face. Then he looks down OF her and
she looks up at him then there is a
perceptible pressure around the waist.
Then he suddenly places his lips to hers;
then she clasps him around the head.
Then there is a soft, gurgling sound, as
Of water escaping from a kitchen sink;
then they are, as it were, glued together;
then all is still. Women in the audi.
ence become nervous. Bald-headed
men L paralyzed. Men about town
have their watches out timing them.
One second two, three, four, five, six,
seyen-and then there is an explosion
as if the bung had blown out Of barrel.
1t is all over. That is the Langtry kiss.

in Germany in the employment of paper
in piano construction. The case is made

Moderately thick plates of sheet-brass

in nitric acid. The acid attacks the
copper, while mercury amalgamates
with the zinc. This seems to BIO the
explanation. At any rate, the brass be-

His sublime highness, tho mikado of
the Dakotas, holds firmly to his scheme
to enrich a fayorite insurance agent at
Bismarck by insuring all the public
buildings through n agency, thereby
placing in the Golfers of his courtier tho
commissions accruing from this little
gubernatorial project. Dakota has had
its large schemers and its small schemers
in official places. Some of them have
harvested with q six foot self raker and
others have used the insinuating hand
in obscure corners of the harvest
field.' None of them have been called to
the work by tho toilers who first made
the field and none of them are therefore
responsible to the public for their acts.
Their mission seems to be to construe the
laws to the disadvantage OF those whom
they are delegated to serve ana through
combinations and neutrality-suspicious. to
erect a little ~aristocracy of satellites upon
whom the available profits are bestowed.
The present dynasty seems to be having
its sweet way for the time, but there
is promise that a charge of political dy-
Mantle will yet rend the throne and that
the incident of the boy who stood upon
the burning deck will thereafter pale
into historical insignificance.

DOMINION OPINION.
The attorney general Of Nova Scotia is
represented as saying that the dominion
would never become u community of
interest. 1t would not do to compare
her with the United States. The latter
was self-supporting. Canada was not;
shc represented but a single o Why
should she hesitate to cleave CONNER
cially to the United States? England
gave nothing to Canada that she did not
give to any other country. She offered
free trade to the world. Canada did not
want free trade of such a wide scope.
Even less than the United States was she
able to cope with the cheap labor of
crowded England, but in a commercial
union with the United States no such
danger existed. Together the two
countries could defy the world.
The dominion represented Il dis
contented and almost disconnected
stream of provinces. The spirit OF
patriotism was not hot enough to make
confederation lasting. 1t was impossible
to entertain Il warm regard for an un-
known people. The people of Ontario
and Quebec wero foreigners i'll Nova
Scotia, those in the United States were
considered friends; they were frequent
visitors, tho others were not.
